The separation leaves us empty alienated threatened and in despair producing the angst and desolation that characterizes the modern Western mind. This book is presented as a personal journey wrapped around a teaching. In 1985 Don Nix entered a time of personal crisis and emotional disintegration which he defined as burnout. He and his wife moved to California and spent a year at Esalen Institute then moved to San Francisco and joined a transformational work-school. In that experience he discovered that burnout was only a symptom of his real problem loss of Being. The book traces his ten-year experience in the work-school and includes the teachings that took him back to health.
